Exclamation headshok clunk on a jekyll

this morning i rolled out fo my garage into the street, and i was messing around a little before my ride.. i did a little wheelie and when it came down, it made a little clunk, i did this again to see if i could repeat it.. yes.
if i grab the stem and pull up while holding the front tire/fork down, the fork droops out another1/16 or an 1/8 or so.. just enough to notice and make a little noise. what happened? i took the hint and didnt go on my ride, fearful that i may do irreversible damage. any thoughts? thanks in advance.

sounds like the head set isn't screwed on tight enough. try tightening the bolt on the top
